From the News-Leader:

Democratic Attorney General candidate Jeff Harris said Wednesday that he would use the office to side with local property owners against large animal feeding operations.

Harris, a state House member from Columbia, said he would work to ensure animal feeding operations follow state laws and make the farms clean up any messes that they make. He also said that local property owners should have more say in deciding where the farming operations can be located.

Besides Harris, other Democrats running in the Aug. 5 attorney general’s primary include Sen. Chris Koster, of Harrisonville, and Rep. Margaret Donnelly, of St. Louis. Sen. Michael Gibbons, of Kirkwood, is the lone Republican candidate.

Democratic Attorney General Jay Nixon is running for governor.
